My name is Joshua van Der Ross. I am 18 years old. I just finished matric in 2023.I have been accepted to study at Northlink college in Bellville for a boiler maker course by the grace of God. The course duration is 3 years.
I have managed to pay the administration fee of R800 and get my books for the year.
A bit about my background.
My mom and myself stay in Delft(Cape town). It is a severely underprivaleged part of our city with a very high crime rate.
My mom works to keep the household going and I am also working weekends at a fish processing factory to contribute towards living expenses.
My dad passed away 2 years ago very suddenly and this made me realise I need to step up and make a success of my life.
I made the decision to finish school and study to make sure I can help myself and my mom to get out of this situation we living in and better our future.
Breaking the cycle of poverty only comes with hard work and determination.
I am focused on my future and I need help to achieve my goals.
Every cent will go towards my tuition for studying.
I started my course today trusting that God will make a way for me to complete it.
